"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Hi I am currently 17 and is 5,7 and was wondering if anybody here at my age or at a later age had success growing taller? 5,9 is my goal which to me is perfect I wouldn't mind being 5,7 but I know regardless of age that we can all grow taller :)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I have been cycling, bballing and swimming :) I grew 5 cm!!! and this took me 2 months wow.... I read that also instead of eating a lot of protein and veggies even though it will increase your height ( only for a short duration ) on the long term veggies is better. Also heard about this hormone called IGF-1 which has been really successful. Anybody know anything about IGF 1 ?

At 17, you should have an inch or so left in you. Depending on your parents/granparents. I just seem to keep growing (tho slowly) even at 21.

When your adenohypophysis secrets growth hormone(GH) your liver reacts by secreting IGF1. IGF1 is actually what makes you grow in response to GH.

The adenohyophysis produces GH when you sleep, so if you are in puberty or still young just make sure you eat well and get enough sleep.

GH is also called "Somatotropine" = "trophic hormone of sleep"
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

If you are American they you are already physically inferior on a genetic level, the ****ty food you eat doesnt help either. So yeah, maybe you will grow a bit more, but start to get it into your head that you need to be happy with whatever you get.

You should speak with your physicial about the hormone.

But like I said, sleep is key. Your body naturally produces HGH, but only when you sleep.

could be because of bad diets and bad habits that society brings to the table.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
